For a limited time, you can get it for $47.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Buying a gigantic new iPad Pro just got a bit more affordable because Apple has finally made refurbished units of the 12.9-inch model available online.
Going online is automatically risky, what with data thieves, snoops and location restrictions, among plenty of other hazards. One great way to make sure you’re protected is to regularly change up your passwords, and another is to connect through a virtual private network, or VPN.
Either move can take a lot of effort. But with this duo of apps — Dashlane Premium and Hotspot Shield Elite VPN — taking these precautions becomes effortless. And right now you can get three years of both for just $69.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

When you hear the term ‘virtual private network’, or VPN, your eyes might glaze over as you suddenly hit your limit for nerdiness tolerance. Despite all the great reasons to use a VPN — anonymous and more secure browsing, avoiding geo-restrictions, so on — it can seem like something reserved for those with a deep technical understanding of computers. Windscribe is an example of a VPN made to be simple — operating as both a simple browser extension and desktop app, it’s easy to set up and use, and right now you can get it for just $39.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

If you do work on a computer, you have to reckon with PDFs, the go-to format for documents of all kinds. As ubiquitous as PDFs are, they’re also universally tough to edit or convert unless you’ve got an app like PDFpen to unlock it. This is software that makes it easy to merge, markup, convert using OCR, and more, and right now, you can get PDFpen 8 for $37 at Cult of Mac Deals.
Considering they’re the lifelines for the most important devices in our lives, Lightning cables sure are fragile and, at just 3 feet, short.

Lucky for you, there’s a chance to add length and life to the cable you use to charge and transfer data between your devices, twice. You can get two 10-foot long, MFi-Certified Lightning cables for just $14.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.
When you buy or download a digital video, it’s easy to imagine that you can get it to work on any screen you like, whether your Mac or PC, phone, tablet, etc. Unfortunately that’s just not how it works, with conflicting video and audio formats that might work in one context but not another. It’s an issue that this duo of MacX apps — MediaTrans and Video Converter Pro — solves offering conversion and transfer options for any audiovisual file type. And right now, you can get both for $29.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.
